The Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen numerous batsmen set the stage alight with their mastery. Nishad Pai Vaidya picks the 10 most dangerous batsmen in the IPL 2015 and explains why they are the most feared in the tournament. Some of them may not yet have shown their explosive class thus far in the tournament, but such is their reputation, that they send a chill down the bowlers’ spine when they are at the crease in a T20 game.

The 10 in no particular order:

1:  Virender Sehwag

VirenderSehwag plays his game irrespective of the format. A true mark of his greatness is the way he approached Test cricket. In a format where batsmen take time to settle down, he has an astonishing strike-rate over 80, spread over 104 Tests. His strike-rate in IPL is a staggering 156.31 in 100 matches. Although his average of 28.66 indicates that he hasn’t been very consistent, he can win a game single-handedly for his team with his belligerence at the top. Pace or spin, Sehwag is ready to fight fire with fire. Back in 2011, he scored a magnificent 119 against a Deccan Chargers attack comprising Dale Steyn, Ishant Sharma and Amit Mishra. Then in 2014, his 122 helped Kings XI Punjab beat Chennai Super Kings for a berth in the final. That ton came off only 50 balls. Read the complete article on Cric Life here.
